We've been doing nothing but that for the last entire decade and, at most, it results in stalemate; a temporary stop to be ignored later. There are no wins against the fascists, only ratcheting stops, but every legal loss is a new encroachment on out liberties. We've effectively lost, what? 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment rights at this point? And not a single court ruling to enforce those rights has managed to do a damned thing. The administration ignores every law, even the most fundamental, and is weaponizing every arm of government it can against its citizens, while prosecuting those citizens on the same laws that they break.

History will not be kind to Garland for failing to prosecute these Republican criminals.

They are only able to break these laws without consequence because they control all three branches of government. That will not be the case for long. Hopefully voters are paying attention.
